Chapter 21

~Kit’s apartment~

“Samson’s mother died. So we are coming back. Brody is going to finish out the tour without us.” Zo said into the cell phone. “We are flying out first thing this morning. Brody will bring our equipment when they get back in L.A.”

Andie rubbed her eyes. “Fuck, how is Samson?”

Zo looked around the silent bus. “He’s been pretty quiet.” She paused for a moment. “So did you do all of the hallmark stuff?”

Andie glanced at Kit and then down at her cup of tea. “Yeah, you could say that.”

Zo thought for a minute that was the second time Andie had said that. Zo decided to leave it alone. “All right, I’ll see you sometime tomorrow.”

“Ok, tell Samson I’m thinking about him.” Andie said and hung up the phone, pushing it back onto the floor.

“How come you didn’t tell Zo about everything, girl?” Kit asked.

“She has enough to think about and she is so damn protective of me. She’d fly out here tonight to kill Shane.” Andie picked up the black cup.

“Won’t she do that anyways?” Kit smiled softly at Andie.

“Well, I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. The bands coming back early.” She played with a fray from the hole in her jeans.

“Oh shit.” Kit flinched at the thought of what was going to happen.

~Shane’s apartment a few hours earlier~

Shane pushed her way into her apartment. Tarin followed her in and looked around at the mess that seemed to land on the entire place. Tarin began to step over things.

“Redecorating?” She asked Shane who was fighting with her jacket to come off.

“Yep.” She finally got the jacket off as Tarin looked around in awe of the disaster she had helped create. “Come here.”

Tarin peeked at Shane who held her hand out for her to take. A sexy smile played across Tarin’s mouth. She swayed her hips as she walked to Shane taking the hand. As they walked toward the bedroom, Shane stopped to turn on the stereo. She walked backwards the rest of the way into the bedroom. She stopped and tugged Tarin to her. They kissed in complete lust as Shane’s hands roamed the body of the redhead. They reached each other’s pants, undoing them.

Andie stepped out of the taxi at Shane’s apartment complex. She looked up and smiled when she saw that Shane’s lights were on. She held the bottle of Merlot under her arm as she dug into the pockets of her striped slacks for the key. She tried to hurry as the surprise rain fell down on her.

Shane’s clumsy hands found their way deep into the leather pants of Tarin and soon deep into Tarin. She pulled Tarin’s hands away from her own pants, trying to keep her from touching Shane. Tarin pulled away from the kiss to let her head fall back and moan. She pulled her shirt up and off, her breasts without a bra becoming exposed. She let a hand cup Shane’s breast as she moved to the rhythm of the fingers rocking inside of her.

Andie walked out of the elevator on Shane’s floor. She messed with her damp hair and smoothed down the black button down shirt, before pushing the key into the keyhole. She opened the door, taking a deep breath.

Shane and Tarin had fallen onto the bed. Shane had taken the time to yank off her own shirt. She was lying on top of Tarin, one hand still deep in her pants. Her moans being swallowed by Shane’s mouth.

Andie closed the door and looked at the apartment that had looked as if a tornado had run through it. She stepped over things and realized that music was playing and made her way to Shane’s room. The door was closed and Andie reached for the doorknob when she heard a few faint moans. She pulled her hand away and stood staring at the door. Andie turned around clutching the bottle of wine to her chest. She took shallow breaths and forced herself to open the door.

Tarin was close to climaxing when she thought she heard the door open. Shane didn’t seem to notice as she didn’t stop kissing her or stop her movements. It was only when she felt the light from the doorway shine on them and a loud gasp come from the same direction that she knew they weren’t alone.

Shane heard a gasp and thought it came from Tarin. Suddenly the bedroom light flipped on, Shane jumped and moved off of Tarin, turning around to see who had turned on the light. Her eyes widened as she saw that it was Andie in the doorway, looking shocked, confused and then finally heart broken.

“Oops.” Andie said barely.

Tarin pushed herself up on her elbows to see Andie. She fell back on the bed and covered her eyes. Shane got up from the bed and stepped towards Andie, who back away from her.

“Andiewhat are” Shane stuttered.

Andie gritted her teeth and glared at Shane. She gripped the bottle of wine and hurled it across the room against the wall behind the bed. The glass and red liquid exploded all over the bed and Tarin. Shane ducked and looked behind her at the wine flowing down the wall.

“What the fuck!” Tarin jumped up from the bed.

Andie laughed at her. “What the fuck? You have enough guts to ask what the fuck?”

She stepped closer to Tarin and then lunged at her. Shane stepped between them and fought to stop Andie.

“You better run you fucking bitch!” Andie screamed.

Tarin turned and walked quickly to the bathroom that was connected to Shane’s bedroom. She closed the door and locked it. Tarin grinned at the door and covered her mouth to keep from laughing.

Andie struggled to get past Shane. Soon she began to just shove Shane.

“Andie stop.” Shane yelled.

Andie moved back shaking her head several times.

“What did you expect when I found out you had another girlfriend? You know, what about Aleta?” Shane was becoming increasingly angry.

“What the FUCK are you talking about?” Andie stared at Shane.

Shane searched Andie’s eyes for any sign of recognition that she had been caught. All she saw was anger and sadness. Shane realized that Andie really didn’t know what she was talking about.

“You don’t know Aleta?” Shane asked again.

“Who is Aleta?” Andie began to sob and fell to the floor. Shane felt the urge to vomit; instead she fell to her knees in front of Andie.

“Oh god. I thoughtthat..fuck..I’m so sorry.” Shane said reaching her hand out to touch the crying woman in front of her. When her hand came in contact with Andie’s arm, Andie shook it violently off of her. She looked up at Shane her face completely emotionless except for the tears streaming down her cheeks.

“I.. love you Andie.” Shane’s raspy voice croaked.

Andie shook her head staring into Shane’s eyes. “You..” Andie paused and then talked through gritted teeth. “Should’ve thought about that before you put your hand into some bitch’s pants.”

Shane closed her eyes as Andie stood up and ran out. The only words ringing in Shane’s head were from the sultry haunting voice singing from the stereo.

“My feelings swell and stretch, I see from greater heights. I understand what I am still too proud to mention to you. You say you understand, but you don’t understand. You said you’d never give up seeing eye to eye, but never is a promise and you can’t afford to lie.”
